    Nononononooooo. No tanks, no subs, nothing where I would be trapped in some kind of vehicle. I wanted freedom, air, sun or rain. But not closed up. Not for me.

    Disgraceful condition for a supposedely Operational Rusky tank of the line.
    Bearing in mind of course this is before any future war with Ukraine, could have been the interim war after Crimea I suppose, seems they are having fun, but that crew should be taught how to keep weapon systems cleaner than Godliness, if them want them to continue working efficiently.
    They probably have cleaners come in after work with a hoover and a duster, no wonder they have lost so many tanks in the current war with young Commanders who clearly don;t care as conscripts
    How aged is that a two piece charge!!

    That was the way I spoke when I joined too. No aircraft a mile up, no ship 100 miles out. I figured that at least on my feet I had an even money chance to survive.

    Gil its not the fall that kills you if the chute fails, its the abrupt stop at the end of said fall.
